I could see through you
I could trace the outlines of your soul
Where light touches, and rises and descends
Your every detail, your all!
I know what burns within you,
I've breathed that same fire before
And I know well that longing
Of finding my own shore
Where the waves are gently moving,
And the ocean swells and surges,
And heartbeats and breathing,
Become one with human urges.
I tell them I'm okay
Because that is what they needed to hear
Behind that joyless smile
They'll find that sadness that I have feared
I tell them I'm fine
That's what they need to know
But if they try to look for signs
It isn't really so
I tell them it's nothing
They don't need to find out
Because the way I've put it out there
This is what it is really about
I tell them all what I can tell
I tell them that I will be all right
I tell them nothing simply to sell
The idea that I'm fine to myself as well
